Toward the end of the session, she discussed what it meant for her that her Nicki Minaj-featuring “Say So” remix reached No. […]

Hackney rapper, producer and musician Franklyn has pulled together a lot of surprising influences for his latest single “A13” and it’s given us a lot to unpack.

Feels like just yesterday I […]

This past weekend DMX spoke to Fatman Scoop in an IG Live conversation in which, of all things, the subject of how good of a lyricist Lloyd Banks is was brought up.  The brief debate came after a friendly conversation about where X stands in the pantheon of all-time hip-hop legends. After being put in […]

Audio issues have befallen another Verzuz battle.  On Monday, Jagged Edge faced off against 112 for a Memorial Day showdown for R&B supremacy spanning the 1990s and early 2000s, but it was their battle with some underwhelming audio that had people feeling like they walked outta the dial-up era and onto Instagram Live.  While this one didn’t […]

It’s been nearly three years since SZA released her debut studio album Ctrl, and while it’s unclear when her follow-up project will be coming out, we could be getting a batch of music very soon. On Monday, the “Love Galore” singer asked her followers on Twitter about the concept of dropping a bunch of unreleased tracks through what she’s […]

Montreal rapper Narcy may have made his latest album, Love & Chaos, over a five-week period during the pandemic, but this spiritual continuation of his 2018 SpaceTime isn’t specifically about the pandemic. “I didn’t want to make a pandemic album,” Narcy said. “It’s about the macro and micro of life. It’s about the now, but […]
